How to get this font effect

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get the type of font that is used in the navigation of this site? What I mean is the slight black outline that is around it. Is there a tutorial on how to do that or is that actually a font that you can use? Also if it is a tutorial and you put the black outline on it does anyone know what font it is that these guys used? When I try to find a font that is thick like that it usually gets pretty blurry when I make it so small.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

That's a pixel font

this site has some, I also believe a user of this forum has a whole pack of them in a zip file on his site.

Those fonts are very sharp and you usually have to use them at one particluar size and with anti-aliasing of. Then you can just add a border with the one pixel pencil.

or create a new layer and place it under the text layer, CTRL+Click the text layer, go to Select->Modify->Expand->1px, fill the selection with the color of your choice and deselect.

There's an even easier way, which is also editable.

Open the layer styles and choose stroke.
Set the midth to 1 pixel and choose outside (instead of middle or inside) and make sure the opacity is at 100%, well, if that's the effect you're going for.

This way, if you change the text, the outline changes with it.
